Sometimes using the right equipment has its disadvantages.  During one of our ADA repairs, we had a fountain show.  When some of our tenants asked what happened, we replied “That’s part of our repair and maintenance upgrade.” However, freshening up from the hot summer day, with the coolness of the water mist coming from the fountain was very refreshing.

One of our tenants makes it his hobby to assemble unique bicycles. He has been featured before. Now, with his recent creation is the orange bicycle we fondly call the “Orange Crush” for his passion in building it and the attention to detail. A hardworking man and a fun person to talk with, we appreciate Bobby as one of our enjoyable and engaging tenants.

POUCH Self Storage has a number of storage centers in the Los Angeles metro area, San Bernardino and Orange County areas. One of the things that set us apart from our competitors is collection of security features. Before even entering the storage area, one must register in the facility office. Each storage unit door has a transmitter that requires a digital code to activate and deactivate the alarm system. If the door is opened by force, the transmitter registers this activity, and sounds an alarm, and notifies the alarm monitoring company.

The transmitter also monitors the date and time the door is opened or closed. In addition, our 24-hour surveillance monitors the facility.  If the facility is compromised, the alarm sounds, and the Monitoring Company, Police or Fire department respectfully are notified and summoned. Our 24-hour surveillance includes, cameras, laser beams that monitor the perimeter, verified electronic gate, recording of all activity, and much more.

The Document Destruction business at Pouch Self Storage – Anaheim has been pretty brisk as of late. Concerns about identity theft, compromised personal financial security and just having too much paper clutter make shredding a logical choice to ease one’s mind. Customers bring various amounts of paperwork ranging from a shoebox full of receipts, to a pick-up truck loaded with file boxes. We have several customers who have repeatedly taken advantage of our service and the great pricing. We asked one of our regulars, “ Why do need so much shredding done? “  He said, “I have my mother’s garage full of personal paperwork she has held onto for 52 years. I bought one of those little electric shredders but it takes too long and the machine burned out. I saw that your On-Site Shredding service is cheaper and I don’t have to spend all day putting in the machine. So, here I am! And I will keep coming in till it’s all gone.“

We know your time is valuable so you’re in and out quick plus, our service very inexpensive so we save you money. That’s a great combination!

If you live in a small space in Los Angeles, San Bernardino or Orange County, there are a number of ways you can make your living or office space larger. In addition to reducing your clutter by putting things into a self-storage unit , you can use certain design techniques to broaden the perceived size of your living or office space. Here is an overview of the many ways you can get more out of your small space.

Get Rid of Clutter

This is the first and most important step, because even large spaces can become cramped and disorderly when there’s too much stuff around. Look around your living or office space and identify things you haven’t used in a while. Books you haven’t read, kitchen equipment you never use, and clothes you don’t wear should be given away, sold, recycled, or placed in a self-storage unit.

Create Visual Illusions

If you cannot physically expand your small living space , then expand the way you perceive it. Light is one of the best ways to do this. Add a skylight, replace a door with an archway, or tweak your lighting fixtures to let more light into your space. If you have a lease that says you cannot tinker with these features, use paint instead. Cool, light colors make a small space seem larger. Standing, hanging, and large-paneled mirrors give an illusion of more space, but make sure that the reflection is of something attractive, such as a painting or a light fixture. If you have low ceilings, buy pieces of art with vertical lines and hang them above eye level.

Downsize Your Furniture

If you have a recliner or a huge sofa, sell it, recycle it, or put it into a self-storage unit. A small sofa or loveseat is a better fit for a smaller space. Replace large appliances and a large TV with space-efficient appliances and flat-panel TV instead.
